What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts to restore a perkier, more youthful appearance. Dr. Boyd specializes in lifting and tightening breast tissue to help you feel confident and comfortable in your body again—without necessarily changing your breast size.

Why Choose Dr. Boyd for Your Breast Lift?

• Skill: Dr. Boyd is a highly experienced plastic surgeon with a keen eye for natural, balanced results.

• Personalization: He customizes each lift to suit your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

• Care: Dr. Boyd understands how changes in your breasts can affect your self-image and is dedicated to supporting you throughout the process.

What’s Involved?

A breast lift with Dr. Boyd typically includes:

• Removing excess skin and reshaping breast tissue for a firmer, lifted look.

• Repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher, more natural placement.

• Optional combination with implants (augmentation mastopexy) if you’d like added volume—just ask Dr. Boyd about this during your consultation.

What to Expect

• Consultation: Meet Dr. Boyd to share your goals, review your health, and discuss incision options (e.g., around the areola, down to the crease, or along the breast fold) that best suit your needs.

• Surgery: Performed under general anesthesia in a top-notch facility, usually taking 2-3 hours.

• Recovery: 

  • First Few Days: Rest with a supportive bra; mild swelling and soreness are expected. Dr. Boyd may use drains briefly to reduce fluid buildup.

  • Weeks 1-2: Take it easy—no heavy lifting or straining. Pain is manageable with prescribed medication.

  • Weeks 6+: Return to normal routines as swelling fades. Final shape settles over 3-6 months.

• Follow-Up: Dr. Boyd’s team ensures your healing progresses smoothly with attentive check-ins.

Benefits

• Lifted, youthful breasts that enhance your silhouette.

• Improved fit in bras, swimsuits, and clothing.

• Long-lasting results with proper care, though aging and gravity may gradually affect them over time.

Risks to Know

Surgery carries potential risks like scarring, infection, or temporary changes in nipple sensation. Dr. Boyd will walk you through these and explain how his techniques reduce complications.

Is It Right for You?

A breast lift might be perfect if:

• Your breasts sag due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes.

• You’re happy with your breast size but want a higher, firmer position.

• You’re healthy, at a stable weight, and ready for a positive change.
